Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or More Board Games!

So I checked out "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" with Erin, Dave, Brad, and Ashleigh last night and was moderately impressed. I knew that it was going to be different then the book, both because movies always are and because apparently that's the way Douglas Adams wanted it to be, so I wasn't angry at the changes or anything. For what they left in, and what they added, the movie was fine. It kept enough of the spirit of the books to still be funny, even if it never ventured into the totally hilarious level. I was still entertained for the majority of the time I was there, so it was worthwhile to see.
Today, before being called into work, I was surfing the net looking for cool new board games to try. I stumbled across a site called Board Game Geek that seems to be a great resource for the type of searching I was doing. You can find pretty much anything on there in some form or another. Who knew that they made a Warcraft and Doom board game? Anyway, I think that I'm going to track down the "Civilization" board games and "Diplomacy." They both sound super cool and apparently have insane levels of strategy and complexity involved. Although finding a 10 hour chunk of time (which is apparently the average playing session) to devote to the Civilization game might be a challenge in and of itself...
This weekend is my film shoot! I sure as hell hope that I know what I'm doing!!!!!
